  • RELEASE: Jan. 7, 2002 STAVISKY and SOLLMANN NAMED to BASEBALL AMERICA PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA TEAM Notre Dame One of Eight Schools
    RELEASE: Jan. 7, 2002 STAVISKY AND SOLLMANN NAMED TO BASEBALL AMERICA PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA TEAM Notre Dame one of eight schools with multiple players on the elite preseason list. Notre Dame is one of eight teams in the nation to place multiple players on Baseball America’s list of 2002 preseason All-Americans, as junior leftfielder Brian Stavisky (Port Allegany, Pa.) has been named to the elite 12-player first team while second baseman Steve Sollmann (Cincinnati, Ohio) is a third-team selection and one of just eight sophomores among BA’s 42 preseason All-Americans (no freshmen were named to the team). The selections are based on input from scouting directors of Major League baseball teams, recognizing performance, talent and Major League potential. Stavisky is the only repeat selection on BA’s preseason first team All-America team and received more support than any other outfielder during the evaluation process. Three Notre Dame players now have received preseason All-America honors, as senior centerfielder Steve Stanley (Arlington Heights, Ohio)–who was married in Columbus on Saturday, Jan. 5, the same day his former Irish teammate Jeff Wagner was being married at Notre Dame’s Sacred Heat Basilica–was named a first team preseason All-American by Collegiate Baseball magazine (Sollmann also was a third- team pick on the CB list). The BIG EAST Conference placed five players on the BA preseason All-America list, trailing only the Pacific-10 and the Atlantic Coast for the most selections from the same conference (the Big-12, with three, was the only other conference with more than two).

The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the risk of skull fractures. The standard has not been correlated with reducing the risk of concussions from such impacts. NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet withstand all test impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets also must survive all test protocols substantially intact and ready for use.

  • Made in America the Blue Jays Land in Toronto, April 1977
    EMMA PLATOFF MADE IN AMERICA THE BLUE JAYS LAND IN TORONTO, APRIL 1977 In 1977, Toronto embarked on the ambitious project of bringing baseball to the Great White North. So eager was Hogtown to host baseball, that, having settled for a subpar stadium, city leaders took care to spell out the game’s rules, lingo, and mathematics to the newspaper-reading public, hoping to convert thousands of Torontonians into baseball’s first Canadian fanbase. The trappings of baseball culture in the States were an integral part of the move—from the songs to the drinks in the stands—all of which became incor- porated into a new synthesis of baseball and Canadian culture. Graham Ambrose, BR ’18, colorfully captures the Toronto Blue Jays’ thrilling first season and popular success. Visiting the machinators behind baseball’s rise to success as well as public’s reactions, the follow- ing pages are an immersive look into the pastime’s often-surprising first years in Canada. By Graham Ambrose, JE ’18 Written for “Quebec and Canada, 1791-Present” Professor Jay Gitlin Faculty Advisor: Jay Gitlin Edited by Christine Wang, Gillian Page, and Heidi Katter 29 MADE IN AMERICA Toronto alderman George Ben had earned a reputation for sternness. A veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War,1 Ben exhibited little patience for the more frivolous ventures of the Toronto City Council. Across fifteen years in public ser- vice, few such ventures proved more frivolous to the Spartan, Slovakian-born lawyer2 than the arrival of Major League Baseball in Toronto.
